Xuron Corp.'s 9100F Micro-Shear Flush Cutter with Lead Retainer produces a clean, square cut and prevents flying leads, which can injure users and end up inside equipment. Made from alloy steel with the cutting edges hardened to Rc 56-58, 9100F Micro-Shear requires less force than most compression-style cutters. Cushioned Xuro-Rubber hand grips and a Light-Touch return spring enable the cutter to fit comfortably in large or small hands, and a glare-eliminating black finish eases close-up work. The tool can also be equipped with optional static control hand grips to meet ESD requirements.
